My 2007 Pontiac Vibe catalytic converter is smelling like rotten eggs. What does this mean.?

Answer 1

It might mean that your air-fuel mixture is off. That bad smell is an indicator that you are producing hydrogen sulfide. It should not do that. Take your car to the deal and ask them to check to see if your computer needs flashing to bring you up to date.

Answer 2

If may mean nothing. The catalytic converter often causes a smell like rotten eggs. This is normal. The fewer miles on the car, the more apt it will smell like rotten eggs (sulfur). It is just doing its job

Answer 3

someone has a sick sense of humor and egged the under side of your car... just playing

If it's an 07 it's same to guess it's still under warranty. Changes are it's just new so getting all the gears going for the first few times will stink. Kinda like when you first turn on a fridge. Still take it in. Have them look at it. If it sounds like they don't know what they are talking about, insist they fix it.

Answer 4

Did you put in cheap gas? Any other additives? Sounds like a dealer question since its under warranty. The fuel & air may be off, its a free fix so take it to the Pont. dealer.

Answer 5

this means you need to take it in and have it checked.it should still be under warrenty if your not over 35,000 miles.you should check your contract it should state somewhere in your contract how many miles your warrenty is worth.if you would have bought a dodge you would have gotten a lifetime warrenty

Answer 6

It means that for some reason, it's running way too rich. Tell them it needs a diagnostic, or they'll just be guessing why.

Answer 7

might be getting plugged up, take back to dealer, it still under warrenty
